Hi all,
An old friend and one-time colleague works in the USDA Forest Service (CA)
as a plant pathologist.
He just sent me a query about fitting a Nykon digi camera to an Olympus
microscope. I don't know the answer. Can anyone here help?
Here's his query:
> Quick question. My lab just acquired an Olympus stereoscopic microscope,
> with attached close up lens. The lens is as expected an Olympus lens.
It
